Sweet Savannah

You know we couldn’t go to Savannah without a day of Sweet Shoppin’! :) Good thing we walked approximately 5,294 miles everywhere to keep up with all these goodies. That’s what it felt like, anyway. I’m sure that’s what it actually was.

We started out on River Street and popped into Savannah’s two candy shops, River Street Sweets and Savannah’s Candy Kitchen to pick up some pralines. Thanks to all who recommended these!

They were making them fresh and they were warm and soft with plenty of free samples to go around.

If you stop by Savannah, these pralines are definitely a must!

You know what else is a must? Beignets. From Huey’s on the River. These were, hands down, the BEST thing I ate in Savannah. And you gotta get it with the praline sauce. Also a must. Talk about melt in your mouth delicious. We devoured an order of these and seriously considered canceling our lunch order and just getting more beignets.

You know I couldn’t leave Savannah without finding cupcakes. :)

We ran into the cutest little shop, the Cupcake Emporium.

They had a large variety of flavors every day. Here was a marble frosted cupcake with a gooey brownie stuffed inside.

It was a gooey chocolate chip cookie made in a muffin pan and topped with buttercream frosting.

Here’s the M&M one. Yum!

We also found this incredible little cake shop, Kerry O’Conner Cake Design. You have to stop by this gorgeous shop and check out her cakes. She’s got a few books of her cakes on the table and they are simply stunning. Kev and I both agreed we wanted to get married again just to have her do our wedding cakes! She’s also got a few irresistible cupcakes to keep you company while you browse through her books. :) Here we have a lavender cupcake with honey buttercream and a mocha cupcake.

Check out this lavender cupcake! Wonder if I can make something like this with the lavender in my garden… My next project in the kitchen will definitely be honey buttercream. It’s quickly becoming a favorite.

We also popped in the Savannah Bee Company on River Street, so I picked up some sweet white honey to do just that…

Mmmmm! You are making me sooo jealous! When we go to Savannah, we have kids in tow, so we never get to take our time and enjoy places like these without being rushed. I am definitely heading back to Savannah with my girlfriends ONLY!!!!

Kicking myself that we never made it to the Cupcake Emporium! Looks fantastic! But yes – the candy shops there are awesome and we loved the praline samples. =) YES.

And now I am extremely curious about that lavender cupcake with honey buttercream. That sounds dreamy…we sampled all of the honeys at the Savannah Bee Company but I regret that we didn’t buy any. Looking forward to seeing your version of the cupcakes soon!!

Besides homemade, River Street Sweets makes the BEST pralines in the entire world! You should definitely try lavender cupcakes – I made something similar recently and they were delicious! They had kind of a spicy aftertaste because of the lavender that made them really interesting.

Oh yummy stuff!! Can’t wait to get to Savannah, but I will definitely need to DIET before I get there. I love it when you travel ahead of me so that you can give me all the inside scoop on where to go. Thanks so much!!!

Just found your blog yesterday. Love all your pictures and places you travel. Love Savannah. A few weeks ago I traveled to Charleston.
I saw your pics of Litlle River Canyon. I live near the Canyon.
I work in Chatt. Tn.
When I travel I have to visit ALL Candy shops and sweet shops.
Again, your pics are beautiful.

We found lavendar and honey everything down south when we were there. My favorite was ice cream from a shop in Asheville, NC. I’d love ot see something I can bake to recreate that flavor. It’s addicting!

I’m going on my 6th snow day in a row. I’m lucky to have power but most of my co-workers don’t. Your pictures are wonderful and they make me crave a vacation even more than my snow day mind already does. If I would have known we would have this many in a row I would have booked a fun get away!!
Your pictures are yummylicious!!

The cleaning tool I can’t live without is my Dyson Animal. I just cruised through my house with it sucking up piles of Izzy, Lila, and Lexie hair. 2 labs and a kitty:) I am so super excited I found your blog!
